The number of tests performed. |
The Mauritania Ministry of Health publishes daily situation reports that state the cumulative number of tests performed to date, as well as the number of tests performed in the past 24 hours.
Since 7 July 2020, the daily situation reports have differentiated between the number of tests performed in the past 24 hours and the number of "diagnostic" tests performed in the past 24 hours. For example, the [11 October 2020 situation report](http://www.sante.gov.mr/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/111020-Mauritanie-Sitrep-COVID-19_FR-.pdf) states: "91 tests performed today including 83 diagnostic tests" (translated). This wording implies that the 91 tests conducted on 11 October 2020 includes non-diagnostic tests (e.g. antibody tests), which we aim to exclude from our dataset. For this reason, our daily time series of tests conducted in Mauritania begins on 7 July 2020 and only includes the reported number of "diagnostic" tests from this date onwards. |
